You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“This place has taken 3 weeks !!! Yes 3 weeks to cremate my sons body. I never received a single update about anything from anyone at the home. I had to call and harass them to get answers. The director offered the service at no charge. I said I would be by to pick his remains up this weekend and now they’re not answering the phones and th director hasn’t responded to my texts !!! I’m so so mad this place is even open. We trust them with our loved ones remains and this is how we get treated. I just want to put my baby to rest !”
